Girls on the Run is
a life-changing character development program for girls ages 8-12 that uses running
to teach values and a sense of self. The program combines training to participate
in a non-competitive 1 or 3.1 mile walk/run event with self-esteem enhancing,
uplifting workouts and a community service project.
Formerly Girls on the Run 5K & Fun Run
The Event and cause are still the same...the 5K race just has a new name!
Saturday, April 19th
9:00 am
UNC Wellness Center at Meadowmont
The
goal
of the program
is to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.
Furthermore, we encourage participants to talk with their parents/caretakers,
with their peers, and within themselves.
The 24-lesson-plan curriculum
attempts to change a girl's budding notion that how she looks is more important
than who she is.
